I'm diamond 4 adc and I don't use atk move yet i've sometimes misclicked and killed myself lol. If i master this technique i might make it to masters or high diamond.
When I'm jungling and know that I can sustain well, after having started at one camp, I look to other parts of the map, while attack moving to the next camp I'm planning to go to. In this way, I will automatically move when I have cleared the current camp and I will have a lot of time to analyze the state of the game.
100% agree with Phy, but I'm surprised he didn't include "Attack Move Click" It's another option in the LoL shortcut menu and is essentially "Attack Move" with the added left click, meaning you're only clicking once instead of twice (in theory a little more efficient). I have this bound to my space bar and think it works great :)
I would love an updated, more in depth, guide here. More into the actual decision making of attack moving during the team fight setting. I find I often see ADC's tunnel attack move away from the support, or cancel 5 autos, etc. Maybe more on how to decide whether it is better to just run than try to kite? (i.e. don't try to kite Hecrim with ult xD) That would be super helpful! Thanks!!
I've set M1 to attack move click and M2 to move click for a very long time. I've become so used to it, that I can't play with default settings at all. I use it for teamfights and CSing, even for melee champions.
4 years I have played this game. Never really have been able to wrap my head around the whole attack move thing. Seeing this I think is going to be such a big help. Thanks mate!
This is an very specific scenario and sorry if I don't make it that clear. Say you are in a 1v1 bot with someone else, and they go into the bush. However, there are minons around, so when you go to attack move into the bush, you just end up hitting the minons. What is your advice on how to play this scenario, assuming you don't have a ward? Thanks so much, love your videos, keep it up!
simple. just dont facecheck as an adc. if you have no wards you back up and keep farming assuming that he will get out of the bush. however if youre a tank go ahead and facecheck but if you end up fighting 1v1, look at your minimap and see if the enemy team is missing. they may be coming for you in a 1v5
In my experience, for someone like me that's not comfortable with using his keyboard both for using his spells and to basic attack at the same time ( as in what you do if you bind the attack move to a or w/e else you choose ), binding it to the left click is really a good alternative. I mean, you barely ever use that button else than in the shop, and even there you can still use it while having it bound to attack click at the same time. It's not traditional, as the game options doesn't allow you to set it this way but I can't seem to understand why. it just seems so much smoother to me. Plus it's way easier to get used to attack with left clicking instead of right than with q instead of right click. Also it is pretty easy to set up if you want to give it a try, just google "Attack move click left button" and it takes about 5 minutes to set up. It's been a game changer for me and I highly recommend trying it to any adc that doesn't feel comfortable with using a.
In what situations would attack moving not work where just a normal attack would? I honestly don't know, as soon as I learned about attack moving I bound it to my mouse wheel and I only use my right click to move.
+Dkmusic NL There's actually an awesome trick where you can easily modify your config file to use left click for attack move, which is what I do and it works fantastic. The only awkward thing is that you can no longer select things with left click without moving, so you'll need to get used to using another key for that. But it's so worth it. Google "left click attack move" and there will be a reddit post that explains it all.
Minetoutong Make a custom game with no one else in it, press esc, and just edit your settings to your liking. If I make changes it's usually when I first log in for the day so I'm going to practice some csing anyway.
I just randomly started attack moving more and more recently. I don't even know why I started doing it but it has improved my abilities tremendously; way more than I would have ever imagined. I wish I had watched this video sooner since I've been playing league for like 5 years now but at least it was still helpful to check that I'm using it properly.
By far one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard. Just started using it and it’s great. I would always miss click on team fights and lose my position or just not deal damage to the champ like I wanted to. Thank you for this advice
+VashTheStampede321 i went from gold 3 to plat 1 with kalista using that technique its so easy like nobody can even touch you late game if youre good at attack move with her
Still have a bunch of questions. 1. what's the difference between a+click and shift+click? 2. what happens if you replace normal right-click attack with attack move? By that I mean bind attack move to right click instead of a+right click. 3. Attack move makes you aa the closest target to your cursor/where you click right? What if you click on ground in the middle of nowhere too far from a target to attack; do you walk to the place you clicked or just do nothing? 4. Is the only benefit of attack-move to cover up misclicking the ground instead of the desired target, and the enemy hiding in bush thing?
cant you make a video on WHEN to attack move? i keep on dying trying to kite with this, because when my character is making the AA animation they arent running. so i want you to tell me how to recognise a situation where its best to attack move, and a situation where its best to just run
This is super helpful, because I'm having a hard time as an ad main climbing out of silver because I can't find a good attack move guide. I'm glad that someone finally helped me out and hopefully this is the improvement I need to climb out of Elo hell.
started doing this when u did the 1st video. Now i literally use it on every champion and its part of my playstyle. Also i went from g3 to plat 3 as adc main and held 76% wr on ezreal for quite a while. Thanks.
I watched the old guide and decided to bind to to my T key and I use it for every single attack in game. I went from B1/S5 elo to S1/G5 elo in about 6-9 months. So it's a really good tip if you're not doing it already. The other thing that may help a lot for ADCs and to a lesser degree all roles is to turn off mouse acceleration.
any tips for getting used to using the A key? It's very uncomfortable and unnatural feeling, this is the biggest reason why I've never used attack move, it just feels like it'll be a hindrance and cause me to play badly.
I couldn't get used to using A either, so I set it to T. Since 99% of champs only use their ult once a teamfight that leaves your index finger (or thumb, which ever you use for your ult) free to Attack Move easily. It took a few games to get used to but it made a huge impact on my performance.
Phylol... Dude I swear. I look forward to your videos. Whenever you upload, every single one of them... they're all entertaining and informative. For example this video... I'm a plat ADC main, and sometimes in team fights, I AA and move without Attack move, and I sometimes find myself in that position. This has given me a new way to learn to ADC. I can't wait to get home and try this man... thank you!
Phy I really needed this video man. I had a feeling I was doing something wrong whenever I play AD. This makes everything so much clearer now. I wouln't mid watching a more in depth video on this. thank you m8
thanks a lot man! All other videos explaining attack move dont explain it in a away that i understand. But after 2 minutes of this video i get it and how to do it so much better than before
Fact that not many people know. If you AA commmand - Move command - AA with Kalista it's faster than just pressing A + click who you want to attack. That move command does nothing differently than if you were just using A + click, but it seems like it works just like with Riven's Q combo where you Q - AA - Move - etc. Try it out in a custom and see for yourself. Attack something with Kalista, issue a move command and then attack again. It's faster than just issuing attack commands.
I hadn't even heard of attack move before! You basically took me from knowing nothing to feeling confident about trying it out and being a better farmer in lane. Thanks for this ^^
i think he means how it is because of the keybinding. as an example, your attackmove is on a, and you want to play vayne, you gonna spam q and a alot and i dont know how it is with the hand
I do this as well, I never really need the camera center function as I always lock my screen in teamfights. I also suggest using the option to attack move immediately instead of having to click after pressing the button.
I've already watched your old video which was also about teaching how to attack move and I started using it in the laning phase (farming abd trading) and now I got used to it and it has improved my ADC skills alot. Thanks and keep up the good work :)
If you go into the in-game settings, under attack move (forget the actual name but whatever is set to "a") there should be another option that is the smart cast version of attack move (Which is normally set to shift-click) and you can then rebind it as I have (It's on T for me)
I have Attack-Move-Click mapped to my left mouse button and I have literally never played the same way again. It's super useful for range leashing your opponents, which is obviously useful for ADCs, but also ranged supports and ranged midlaners like Orianna.
ikr its like. "do this so u dont missclick and maybe run into danger" well then dont fucking missclick god damn its rwally not to hard to hit your target while kiting.... like ... sigh what ever
+Duy Vo XDDD on my phone it gave me a preveiw of your comment and it said " its like giving yourself a handy" omfg. anyway thats true but its just like its too much for me too click ( especially if i am runny away from someone with a perma slow or almost) meh i just prefer kiting without it.
there are different attack moves, i still dont get what they all do, atm i use that attack move which shows u ur basic attack range and u can target something
It's also great for when you you're fighting a champion in stealth. This is useful for all roles, if akali goes into her shroud and you want to AA her as soon as she exists, keep clicking Attack Move Click and you'll insta AA her as soon as she's visible. Most of the time when I do this I my character attacks before I even notice akali left the shroud. Same with Rengar, just spam attack move click as soon as you see the " ! ", and you'll probably start attacking him before you can even register where he jumps to, let alone move your cursor and click on him.
Just a little tip in the hotkeys u can change your A : instead of putting it in attack move u can put it in click (or quick i don't remember) attack move, it's the same thing but with the second one u don't have to click A it's like smartcast u just have to press A and this will do it perfectly. It can just feel disturbing when u're really used to click but it's really effective. But u still need to know how to right click u can't always attack move.
Yes! Please make a more in-depth video! This one was good. Would like to see more angles. Like what it looks like to use while running away/ kiting a enemy. Or on the flipside while chasing a enemy. Would also like to see it in the jungle!
I've played games like Titan Quest, Diablo, and Dungeon Siege, and they had a similar mechanic to "attack in place." I kind of miss having that in League (imagine if you had to aim your AA's by holding shift and clicking in the direction you wanted to attack,) but the button I moved my attack move ended up being bound to the same button I would use for attack in place. I ended up teaching myself this within the first few months of playing
thanks for this. I always knew about attack moving but didn't fully understand how it worked or how to properly execute it. going to put in a lot of practice with it
I think its important to point out, that you can use a different key phy is using A + a click from the mouse i tried many things out but in the end i go with space for attackmove without the need to click somewhere and my camera to the champ is on my mouse (back button on mouse) thats how i do it and i like it way more then the A + click
I've been trying hard to Attack Move, I need to improve on switching from buttons time to time since I tend to get surprised and then get confused which buttons to click LOL. Thanks Phy you help me a lot~
well i have a huge tip for phylol and all of you instead of left clicking after you press A you can make it the quickcast way by going to the setings ingame going to hotkeys then find where the A key is. Should be attack move click or something like that, then just switch it to attack move click only (just look 2 times up). VOILA now you dont need to press the mouse again after you pressed A and start your road to kiting god xD
put attack move on left mouse button, move command on right mouse button. a->click->click->[...] are 3 actions left click -> right click -> [...] are 2 actions... and you do it a lot... a super lot. once you get used to the left-right clicking (i was rly bad with it at first), you don't wanna switch back. very gud for kalista btw :3
Great video! Attack moving really takes time to master, but in the end it'll be worth it, trust me. Even though I have been practicing it for 3,5 years 24/7, sometimes i mess it up a bit, but it helps me to kite and reposition myself in any kind of teamfight.
A couple questions: 1) I also have my Player Attack Move set to the A key, but when i use mine, there's a range indicator - are we using the same commands? 2) I don't really get how to use Target Champions Only with attack move. I have target champs set to the T key, and when I hold it while using attack move, my champ still attacks minions when clicking /near/ enemy champs. However, when I hover over minions, they don't get highlighted (meaning they don't get targeted right?). I've noticed I end up attacking the minions when the enemy champ is not within my current attack range (even when holding down my T key). If you could make target champs only your next "like a pro" vid, or just explain it here really well, that'd be great
I already know how to kite, but I think an In-Depth Guide would be awesome! I think kiting is something you can always improve at and the guide really would help me :)
Finally someone that does thinks about colorblind people like me. Thanks Phy, really! This is the first time someone says they remember us! Your content is educational and really helpful! I am here since you had that 50K and look at you now! I really wish that your channel improve more and you get more subscribes your really deserve because you are trying hard!
Hey, Phy. Went back and checked this video out, then executed your tips in the game. Before watching this vid I was 4-4 as Lucian, after I went 11-4 as Varus! Thanks for the tips
Fantastic advice! It actually does make a difference but I need to practice a lot. Great vid man. I watch your vids all the time now that I'm working to get out of the Bronze-Zone
Hey @Phylol, do you think it would be worth it to also mention the SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK method in addition to the A + LEFT CLICK? I find myself using SHIFT more often. Should I be using A instead? Thanks bud, keep up the great work.
Thank you for this video! I always wonder how ADCs were able to kite so flawlessly and now I know why and can try giving it a shot, this may renew my interest in playing the ranger role.
I've always used a-moving, however I'm trying to actually do more of rightclicking, especially in lane where it can be dangerous to use a move, if you miss to a move on a champion when there are minions close to you, you will instead attack those, which will probably result in your death, has happened to be many times. Meaning if you do a-moving in lane you'll have to be really accurate in fights where there are minions, and even the enemy turret can sometimes mess it up.
For anyone who finds putting ur fingers on A awkward i would suggest going into ur settings and changing a to the space bar. This way the entire game u can keep ur thumb on space and constantly attack move without it feeling wierd. Using a might just feel wierd for me because i broke my left thumb tho. I would suggest trying the space bar and seeing which one feels more natural and comfortable because that is where ur thumb is gunna be when ur playing league.
Haha I had such a laugh. My friend asked me whether she could use my account for something and I have my attack-move (since i only play quick cast) assigned to my Space bar and my center on champ assigned to the 2 side mouse buttons. It took me a while to get used to, but it does free up the task of moving my pinky to A (so my pinky is permanently on Q). The comments from her and the friends she told was more salty than the Dead Sea, but hey, it's my account, I can keybind any way I want as long as it works for me XD
I found having attack move bound to space bar was easier to learn and i still have it bound to space bar. It also helped me a lot mid to weave in autos while using abilities while trading
It is also really useful if you are in aram and you have a teemo against you. after you got oracles only use attack move to walk around. you will never step into a shoot by accident, except those nasty ones inside bushes. but still quite helpful
For couple of years already I've been playing with Attack Move Click bound to LMB, where standard LMB is now Shift + LMB. I think you can do it in-client now and not change that inside of config files (like I had to long time ago).
This is awesome. @ John green is right lots of player drop wards in middle of team fights because of this play style. Did you ever make that more in depth video?
Orbwalking originates from Dota which involves using your attack-modifier (ex: Drow Ranger and her Frost Arrows, Clinkz and his Flame Arrows etc.) to attack move. Since the removal of Ashe's Frost Arrows as an active ability, this is impossible to do in League since there isn't an ability built in that modifies attacks that a champ can toggle on or off.
Hey Phy ~ serious question that I've wanted to know about attack moving. Is it possible that it'd be more useful to just straight out rebind right click to be your A key? That way any time you issue any move command it attacks that way? Huge fan, loved your stuff since the start and hope to hear from you soon!
you can also set attack move click to A. you dont even have to click after pessing A, ur A is an attack move command sort of like a quick cast attack move . so ull just attack, u can kite with leftclick+A much much easier
I cant remember how to change the settings to do it, but there is a way of attack moving without having to click. This allows you to press A and wherever The mouse cursor is, your champ will move-attack. Basically, you are way faster because you dont have to click but it takes a lot of practice. Saludos desde Argentina!!
The issue I find with attack moving as a top laner and jungler is that attacking is prioritised over moving. By that I mean that I can't kit back from a jungle camp with attack move, because if I attack move away from the camp and I'm next to it, the game will just keep autoing the camp.
2 Questions:1.Why dont you use attack move with no click?(its in the keybinds and i think it it is better) and 2.Do you use Attack target closest to cursor?
I press X and C (I bind auto attack move to C for a smart cast attack move) instead of A so I can use my thumb to do it. Helped me so much as an ad main :p
You can actually bind that to your left click. So when your kiting all you have to do is. Right click left click right click left click. And your character we'll run then turn around attack then run again.
when i try to attack move, i always end up canceling 70% of my autos
The biggest counter to this:
warding
since they changed it to attacking the closest target to where you are clicking this doesn't really work anymore
+xDiablo1399x in settings there is an option to choose attack between closest to you or to the cursor
More like biggest counter: scuttle crab
Scuttle doesn't get targeted by attack move
Attack move click will not target Scuttle crab because it's not a hostile unit even when you attack it.
I was literally thinking yesterday. "Damn I wish Phy would make a video about attack moving" What are the odds.
Lmao just yesterday i watched his old video on attack moving
I'm diamond 4 adc and I don't use atk move yet i've sometimes misclicked and killed myself lol. If i master this technique i might make it to masters or high diamond.
You should start asap, it's not hard to master and for me it became second nature pretty quickly, and I'm a boosted ape
Were good as half his videos have attack move talk in it :p
PHYYY U SHOULD HAVE SHOWED YOUR SETTINGS MENU
When I'm jungling and know that I can sustain well, after having started at one camp, I look to other parts of the map, while attack moving to the next camp I'm planning to go to. In this way, I will automatically move when I have cleared the current camp and I will have a lot of time to analyze the state of the game.
Holy shit that's genius
can you make a video about it?
Vegard Fjeldberg make a vid
Wow this makes alot of sense
maaaan... i'm main jungler... and this does more sense than everything.,.. u r a genious man ggwp
100% agree with Phy, but I'm surprised he didn't include "Attack Move Click"
It's another option in the LoL shortcut menu and is essentially "Attack Move" with the added left click, meaning you're only clicking once instead of twice (in theory a little more efficient). I have this bound to my space bar and think it works great :)

"What did you to become so good at X champion?" "Played a thousand times with X champion." -Korean advice.
By far one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard. Just started using it and it’s great. I would always miss click on team fights and lose my position or just not deal damage to the champ like I wanted to. Thank you for this advice
For any kalista players, write this shit down
There aren't any Kalista players left after her nerfs
+Leo there are actually
+VashTheStampede321 i went from gold 3 to plat 1 with kalista using that technique its so easy like nobody can even touch you late game if youre good at attack move with her
I got a friend who still plays Kalista he is a diehard and he is still good sooooo ye im writing it down for him
+VashTheStampede321 when i press shift i cant jump can u help me?

how do i get rid of the ring around my champion when i click A to attack move?
Option remove in interface option show attack range
Yeah I have that too. It's hard to practice with it.
interface or game i think and the option is called something like " show range auto" is above the locked screen settings
You can use Shifts aswell
or unbound it to another key
hold shift + click, is more natural then the A key anyway
I watched the old guide and decided to bind to to my T key and I use it for every single attack in game. I went from B1/S5 elo to S1/G5 elo in about 6-9 months. So it's a really good tip if you're not doing it already. The other thing that may help a lot for ADCs and to a lesser degree all roles is to turn off mouse acceleration.
any tips for getting used to using the A key? It's very uncomfortable and unnatural feeling, this is the biggest reason why I've never used attack move, it just feels like it'll be a hindrance and cause me to play badly.
Just bind it to another key you are comfortable with
Explicitghost that's the problem, I can't seem to find one
I have my attack move button onto left click on the mouse, super easy to kite with it, search up the tutorial and you'll kite really well
I couldn't get used to using A either, so I set it to T. Since 99% of champs only use their ult once a teamfight that leaves your index finger (or thumb, which ever you use for your ult) free to Attack Move easily. It took a few games to get used to but it made a huge impact on my performance.
I have it on the SPACE key.I use my thumb and it makes it easier.

attack move is automatically binded to A.

thanks a lot man! All other videos explaining attack move dont explain it in a away that i understand. But after 2 minutes of this video i get it and how to do it so much better than before
do it for kog maw pls i play him :)
Look up how to attack/move like a scripter with kogmaw

I hadn't even heard of attack move before! You basically took me from knowing nothing to feeling confident about trying it out and being a better farmer in lane. Thanks for this ^^
Its so hard to use spells with attack move
??? that doesnt even make sense. you only use it for auto attacks. use your abilities as you normally would
i think he means how it is because of the keybinding.
as an example, your attackmove is on a, and you want to play vayne, you gonna spam q and a alot and i dont know how it is with the hand
with vayne you can change it to w because you never need to press it
I'm a Vayne main and I have my attackmove set to left click. There's a tutorial on how to do it on youtube.
See, and this makes a HUGE difference.
I've also started to main Vayne and I couldn't before without this setup.
I didn't think anyone DIDN'T do this. I started doing it the moment i picked up the game. It felt and still does feel way more natural to me.
guys bind it to spacebar, one of my master tier friends told me this and its sooooo much easier
yep way easier
I do this as well, I never really need the camera center function as I always lock my screen in teamfights. I also suggest using the option to attack move immediately instead of having to click after pressing the button.
hmmm how can I do that?
sounds like something u have to get used to, spacebar is a big key^^
btw how does your friend lock his camera
JarJar1337 / yoloswaggermasterdestroyer
he doesnt lock his camera he uses T to center his camera
I've already watched your old video which was also about teaching how to attack move and I started using it in the laning phase (farming abd trading) and now I got used to it and it has improved my ADC skills alot. Thanks and keep up the good work :)
How do you turn off the circle that appears when you attack move
If you go into the in-game settings, under attack move (forget the actual name but whatever is set to "a") there should be another option that is the smart cast version of attack move (Which is normally set to shift-click) and you can then rebind it as I have (It's on T for me)
That's the best think about it
Attack move click it should be set as default shift click
+нιвιкι «тнe aeѕтнeтιc ĸιng» thank u
I am Fran No problem~
I have Attack-Move-Click mapped to my left mouse button and I have literally never played the same way again. It's super useful for range leashing your opponents, which is obviously useful for ADCs, but also ranged supports and ranged midlaners like Orianna.
No i will stick to right click only
'atta boy!
+Voice of Reason I got no room for fancy-shmancy attack cursor! I have a mouse for a reason!
ikr its like. "do this so u dont missclick and maybe run into danger" well then dont fucking missclick god damn its rwally not to hard to hit your target while kiting.... like ... sigh what ever
+xgeorge12345 But its like giving yourself a handycap. There really is no downside to it
+Duy Vo XDDD on my phone it gave me a preveiw of your comment and it said " its like giving yourself a handy" omfg. anyway thats true but its just like its too much for me too click ( especially if i am runny away from someone with a perma slow or almost) meh i just prefer kiting without it.
Brother, your video is the best, and I mean the BEST one I've seen about how to use this. Now kitting makes SO much sense!
there are different attack moves, i still dont get what they all do, atm i use that attack move which shows u ur basic attack range and u can target something
it's the same thing just shows your range
+TKxMaSSaCre how do I get one without the range?
+InquizitorPhil how can i not use left click?
+nikol ronald bind a to "attack move click" in the movement section of the hotkey options, as opposed to the default "attack move" :)
***** I think nikol was asking how to avoid having to left click after hitting a. Which is really really important
It's also great for when you you're fighting a champion in stealth.
This is useful for all roles, if akali goes into her shroud and you want to AA her as soon as she exists, keep clicking Attack Move Click and you'll insta AA her as soon as she's visible.
Most of the time when I do this I my character attacks before I even notice akali left the shroud.
Same with Rengar, just spam attack move click as soon as you see the " ! ", and you'll probably start attacking him before you can even register where he jumps to, let alone move your cursor and click on him.
But what if I main vayne only???? A clicking on her is really weird...
I use Shift click to attack move. That will probably feel more natural to you. Just hold down shift and right click
+Drew Coker aight thanks for the tip I'm gonna try that
I'm a vayne main and A click feels very natural ?
you could just do it with w, you never use it on vayne
I have attack move bound to left click, it's awesome.
Been using a + move since the Dota days in WC3 TfT. Great advice for newer players, keep up the good vids.
Just a little tip in the hotkeys u can change your A : instead of putting it in attack move u can put it in click (or quick i don't remember) attack move, it's the same thing but with the second one u don't have to click A it's like smartcast u just have to press A and this will do it perfectly. It can just feel disturbing when u're really used to click but it's really effective. But u still need to know how to right click u can't always attack move.
Yes! Please make a more in-depth video! This one was good. Would like to see more angles. Like what it looks like to use while running away/ kiting a enemy. Or on the flipside while chasing a enemy. Would also like to see it in the jungle!
I've played games like Titan Quest, Diablo, and Dungeon Siege, and they had a similar mechanic to "attack in place." I kind of miss having that in League (imagine if you had to aim your AA's by holding shift and clicking in the direction you wanted to attack,) but the button I moved my attack move ended up being bound to the same button I would use for attack in place. I ended up teaching myself this within the first few months of playing
thanks for this. I always knew about attack moving but didn't fully understand how it worked or how to properly execute it. going to put in a lot of practice with it
I think its important to point out, that you can use a different key
phy is using A + a click from the mouse
i tried many things out but in the end i go with space for attackmove without the need to click somewhere
and my camera to the champ is on my mouse (back button on mouse)
thats how i do it and i like it way more then the A + click
I've been trying hard to Attack Move, I need to improve on switching from buttons time to time since I tend to get surprised and then get confused which buttons to click LOL.
Thanks Phy you help me a lot~
well i have a huge tip for phylol and all of you instead of left clicking after you press A you can make it the quickcast way by going to the setings ingame going to hotkeys then find where the A key is. Should be attack move click or something like that, then just switch it to attack move click only (just look 2 times up). VOILA now you dont need to press the mouse again after you pressed A and start your road to kiting god xD
Hey Phy Instead of doing A i binded the attack move click (Shift MB2 by deafault) to middle click and use it and it is much more easier and faster
Thanks for the nice guide. I'd love to see the updated version of the old one with the Kog'Maw trick.
put attack move on left mouse button, move command on right mouse button.
a->click->click->[...] are 3 actions
left click -> right click -> [...] are 2 actions... and you do it a lot... a super lot.
once you get used to the left-right clicking (i was rly bad with it at first), you don't wanna switch back.
very gud for kalista btw :3
Great video! Attack moving really takes time to master, but in the end it'll be worth it, trust me. Even though I have been practicing it for 3,5 years 24/7, sometimes i mess it up a bit, but it helps me to kite and reposition myself in any kind of teamfight.
I found this to be really informative, I wish people would make more videos on specific mechanics like this
A couple questions:
1) I also have my Player Attack Move set to the A key, but when i use mine, there's a range indicator - are we using the same commands?
2) I don't really get how to use Target Champions Only with attack move. I have target champs set to the T key, and when I hold it while using attack move, my champ still attacks minions when clicking /near/ enemy champs. However, when I hover over minions, they don't get highlighted (meaning they don't get targeted right?). I've noticed I end up attacking the minions when the enemy champ is not within my current attack range (even when holding down my T key). If you could make target champs only your next "like a pro" vid, or just explain it here really well, that'd be great
I already know how to kite, but I think an In-Depth Guide would be awesome! I think kiting is something you can always improve at and the guide really would help me :)
Phylol I was just looking up kiting yesterday and really needed a new guide... THANK YOU!!!
Finally someone that does thinks about colorblind people like me. Thanks Phy, really! This is the first time someone says they remember us! Your content is educational and really helpful! I am here since you had that 50K and look at you now! I really wish that your channel improve more and you get more subscribes your really deserve because you are trying hard!
Hey, Phy. Went back and checked this video out, then executed your tips in the game. Before watching this vid I was 4-4 as Lucian, after I went 11-4 as Varus! Thanks for the tips
Fantastic advice! It actually does make a difference but I need to practice a lot. Great vid man. I watch your vids all the time now that I'm working to get out of the Bronze-Zone
Hey @Phylol, do you think it would be worth it to also mention the SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK method in addition to the A + LEFT CLICK? I find myself using SHIFT more often. Should I be using A instead? Thanks bud, keep up the great work.
You can also enable range indicator when pressing A, it will show excat aa range of specific champion.
Thank you for this video! I always wonder how ADCs were able to kite so flawlessly and now I know why and can try giving it a shot, this may renew my interest in playing the ranger role.
I've always used a-moving, however I'm trying to actually do more of rightclicking, especially in lane where it can be dangerous to use a move, if you miss to a move on a champion when there are minions close to you, you will instead attack those, which will probably result in your death, has happened to be many times. Meaning if you do a-moving in lane you'll have to be really accurate in fights where there are minions, and even the enemy turret can sometimes mess it up.
I have my attack move binded to the space bar, so it's a little easier to use, rather than using my pinky on the "a" key. Very very useful
For anyone who finds putting ur fingers on A awkward i would suggest going into ur settings and changing a to the space bar. This way the entire game u can keep ur thumb on space and constantly attack move without it feeling wierd. Using a might just feel wierd for me because i broke my left thumb tho. I would suggest trying the space bar and seeing which one feels more natural and comfortable because that is where ur thumb is gunna be when ur playing league.
great video! i was already starting to utilize this but i didnt try it for walking into bushes. great vid!
Haha I had such a laugh. My friend asked me whether she could use my account for something and I have my attack-move (since i only play quick cast) assigned to my Space bar and my center on champ assigned to the 2 side mouse buttons. It took me a while to get used to, but it does free up the task of moving my pinky to A (so my pinky is permanently on Q). The comments from her and the friends she told was more salty than the Dead Sea, but hey, it's my account, I can keybind any way I want as long as it works for me XD
A massive thank you! I was one of the people who asked for a video like this, great video has helped a lot! thanks again
I found having attack move bound to space bar was easier to learn and i still have it bound to space bar. It also helped me a lot mid to weave in autos while using abilities while trading
Finally :) I was waiting for that video! Since I've been watching your videos, I improved massively, this was the next step in my progression :)!
I found changing attack click to left click was the best way to make it part of my every game routine.
Another in-depth guide could be nice indeed. Please make one !
It is also really useful if you are in aram and you have a teemo against you. after you got oracles only use attack move to walk around. you will never step into a shoot by accident, except those nasty ones inside bushes. but still quite helpful
For couple of years already I've been playing with Attack Move Click bound to LMB, where standard LMB is now Shift + LMB. I think you can do it in-client now and not change that inside of config files (like I had to long time ago).
The word of phy is gospel, thank you oh great one I will aim to do you proud in the rift. x
I want more videos like this. It's really great! Keep on the good work
This is awesome. @ John green is right lots of player drop wards in middle of team fights because of this play style. Did you ever make that more in depth video?
Phy, can you make a video talking about the best hot key setup? quick cast, smart cast, self cast, what's the best one to use?
Orbwalking originates from Dota which involves using your attack-modifier (ex: Drow Ranger and her Frost Arrows, Clinkz and his Flame Arrows etc.) to attack move. Since the removal of Ashe's Frost Arrows as an active ability, this is impossible to do in League since there isn't an ability built in that modifies attacks that a champ can toggle on or off.
Hey Phy ~ serious question that I've wanted to know about attack moving. Is it possible that it'd be more useful to just straight out rebind right click to be your A key? That way any time you issue any move command it attacks that way?
Huge fan, loved your stuff since the start and hope to hear from you soon!
I do this for over 2 years now. You'll find every pink even when the pink isn't on your screen, but for example camera focused on bot lane
you can also set attack move click to A. you dont even have to click after pessing A, ur A is an attack move command sort of like a quick cast attack move . so ull just attack, u can kite with leftclick+A much much easier
Hey Phylol, great video yet again. I was just wondering, do you recommend having auto attack on AD carries? Thank you in-advance :)
This was very helpful. Thank you. Could you pleaser do a video on how to optimize use of camera position in game?
Great tip, was looking for a way to learn to kite better, it will be a good first step!
I cant remember how to change the settings to do it, but there is a way of attack moving without having to click. This allows you to press A and wherever The mouse cursor is, your champ will move-attack. Basically, you are way faster because you dont have to click but it takes a lot of practice. Saludos desde Argentina!!
That's actually useful, i learned to kite like this 2 seasons ago, that probably was one of the reasons i got to plat all the way from silver.
cool guide this is something I really need to work on, this will help put it in my mind
The issue I find with attack moving as a top laner and jungler is that attacking is prioritised over moving. By that I mean that I can't kit back from a jungle camp with attack move, because if I attack move away from the camp and I'm next to it, the game will just keep autoing the camp.
An in depths guide would be very nice I've been trying adc more often and I'm seeking to improve
2 Questions:1.Why dont you use attack move with no click?(its in the keybinds and i think it it is better) and 2.Do you use Attack target closest to cursor?
I press X and C (I bind auto attack move to C for a smart cast attack move) instead of A so I can use my thumb to do it. Helped me so much as an ad main :p
You can actually bind that to your left click. So when your kiting all you have to do is. Right click left click right click left click. And your character we'll run then turn around attack then run again.
